ambassador, there is a long article in "the new york times" in september about how president obama had been educated about china and had to take a tougher stance vis-À-vis china. i think the article drew heavily on the national security council person responsible during president upon his first two or three years. was that something posturing for the political campaign? or in fact is that correct that president obama wants to have a more hard-nosed posture vis-À-vis china and if so, what are we doing about it? >> let me just say that as i indicated earlier, president obama believes sony enter into agreements with other countries in this negotiation amid lower barriers and open our markets, when we enter into these agreements, those countries have to reciprocate, but to their agreements. otherwise the american congress alaska militia they ever enter into another trade agreement with another country? at the skate park bar can don't enforce our rights. that's why you seen obama, more actions against china taking to the tip eto and we basically propelled and been very successful. so it's
